2.1i Design Manager - Running pld_dsgnmgr through Mentor DM or Through Exemplar's P&R tab, can not choose options for implementation

Description

When I envoke the Xilinx Design Manager (pld_dsgnmgr) or pick the optionto envoke the Xilinx Design Manager on my design from Exemplar's P&R tab,for the first time on my design EDIF file I don't get the familiar flow. When Igo to Design ->Implement as I used to, I don't get any options, besidespicking the version/ revision, and part. As soon as I click on OK the designstarts implementing before I have a chance to select my simulation type andeffort levels. How do I get to the options as initially it is greyed out?

Solution

Due to a change in the Xilinx Design Manager flow a version/revsion mustbe created before any options can be modified. Upon first starting uppld_dsgnmgr on the design.edif for the first time, you must first do Design -> New Version, then you can do a Design -> Options, to select you simulation type, effort levels etc. If you have partially or completelyrun implementation then a version/revsion will already exist and the options can be modified, such as after hitting the stop button.
